Description It took me a while to find something to draw for "Introduction", the first theme. I've read so many books, seen so many sunrises, that it took a long time to find something I liked.

But finally, I decided on the opening scene of a famous series of books, Anne McCaffery's "Dragonriders of Pern". An introduction to me is something small, yet significant; in this case, a sunrise; in others, it can be many things- a death, a birth, a mysterious package.

So I picked this, a small beginning to a large story- "Lessa woke cold..."

Yeah, it was seriously hard to come up with, but I really like how it turned out. For a while, I was all like, "I should draw Link sleeping, he always starts the game sleeping... No, Harry acting depressed in his room... Or maybe you should throw in your OCs..." and on and on like that. Then I picked up "Dragonflight" and read a few pages, and thought, "Yeah!"

Thanks for the comment! ^___^

I like the semi-sketchy style, but as a note it was a little hard to discern the dragon from the wall.

Background rocks!

Aggh! You're right! Silly watch-wher, get off that wall!
